The only way to use ubuntu for me at the moment is to > unplug the card! > 1. this is about v4l-dvb linux kernel driver not about distros like ubuntu. state kernel (v4l-dvb hg) version pls. 2. searching the list-archives before opening new threads is mandatory, ive reported this issue about a year ago. thx for the confirmation. use SysReq keys and report where the kernel freezes (stacktrace), if You want to have boot fixed. i dont have got this card anymore. this card uses a unknown? pci-bridge and a sharp tuner. dexatek and sharp refused to release programming information about their products to us, so creating a driver would require reverse engineering with a pci-extender and i2c sniffing. since there are many supported cards available for only 5-10 bucks more this is an uneconomical effort, so throw this card back to the seller until dexatek and sharp provide support to linux developers. sorry y tom _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
